Events now have a full date and time for start and end. Before they just had a date. Thanks for the suggestion @dobbie! (see change)

Events no longer require a contact name. Most of the entries were being created with “Unknown”. (see change)

Events have a “Created date” that is automatically put in by the wiki. (see change)

The last item allows Semantic MediaWiki to provide RSS feeds of events by when they were created (as opposed to edited, which changes). Using this RSS feed I’m now syndicating confirmed Tournaments to the main Planet Kubb feed!

I am a member of the Kubb Collective.The turnout for our events started dropping off after we switched from abbreviated rules to U.S. championship rules. We are having a summer party/tyournamet on June 30th. It seemed to be about 25% of us prefer the championship rules and the others didn’t like them at all.

Hey Dano, do you expect the Kubb Collective website will be coming back online? I’m wondering if I should stop checking it for the Planet Kubb main feed. It keeps telling me every 3 hours the site isn’t available. :-)

as far as I know the Kubb Collective web site is down for the count. The Facebook page is up but has not been updated in a long time. The last I heard the collective will continue but on a more casual level with people throwing Kubb Parties/picnics using a email list to invite.

By the way, I think this would be a really interesting longer write up on your experience organizing the group and how the different rules were received, what to do with that, etc. Other organizers would probably learn a lot from it. Feel free to write it right here on Pitch as a new blog post if you wish.

Trophy artisan is working on the trophies for the 2012 Fall Kubb Klassic, and we feel based on what we have seen him do in the past, that our trophies will be world-class. Post a pic of the sweetest Kubb trophy you have seen.
